We hear your heartfelt desire to bless your church family this Christmas season with a thoughtful gift, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s wisdom in this matter. The act of giving is a beautiful reflection of God’s love, and it’s wonderful that you want to honor Him through this gesture.
The Bible tells us in James 1:5, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." We take great comfort in this promise, knowing that the Lord delights in guiding His children when we seek Him with sincere hearts. Whether you choose to bake something homemade or purchase a gift, we pray that the Holy Spirit will direct your steps and fill your hands with creativity and joy as you prepare.
We also lift up the intention behind your gift. In 1 Corinthians 10:31, we are reminded, "Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." May every detail—from the ingredients you select to the love you pour into the preparation—be an offering that points others to Christ. Christmas is a time to celebrate the greatest gift of all, our Savior Jesus, and we pray that your gift will be a small but meaningful reflection of His love for your church family.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, lifting up our sister in Christ who desires to bless her church family this Christmas. Lord, we ask that You grant her wisdom as she decides what to bake or buy. Fill her with Your creativity and joy as she prepares this gift, and let every detail be a testament to Your love. May the recipients be encouraged and drawn closer to You through this act of kindness. We pray that this gift would not only satisfy their physical hunger but also nourish their souls, reminding them of the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ. Guide her steps, Lord, and let Your will be done in this matter. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in prayer and reflection, asking the Lord to reveal His desires for this gift. Perhaps He may lay a specific recipe, idea, or even a word of encouragement on your heart for someone in your church. Trust in His leading, and remember that the love behind the gift is what truly matters. May the Lord bless you abundantly as you seek to honor Him!
